NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2011 AND 2010

(UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of WSFS Financial Corporation (“the Company”, “our Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”), Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (“WSFS Bank” or the “Bank”) and Montchanin Capital Management, Inc. (“Montchanin”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Cypress Capital Management, LLC (“Cypress”). We also have three unconsolidated affiliates, WSFS Capital Trust III, WSFS Capital Trust IV, and WSFS Capital Trust V (“the Trusts”). WSFS Bank has two fully-owned subsidiaries, WSFS Investment Group, Inc. (“WIG”) and Monarch Entity Services LLC (“Monarch”). WIG markets various third-party insurance and securities products to Bank customers through the Bank’s retail banking system. Monarch provides commercial domicile services which include employees, directors, sublease of office facilities and registered agent services in Delaware and Nevada. Founded in 1832, the Bank is one of the ten oldest banks continuously operating under the same name in the United States.

We provide residential and commercial real estate, commercial and consumer lending services, as well as retail deposit and cash management services. In addition, we offer a variety of wealth management and trust services through our Christiana Trust division. Lending activities are funded primarily with customer deposits and borrowings. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures our customers’ deposits to their legal maximums. We serve our customers primarily from our 44 offices located in Delaware (37), Pennsylvania (5), Virginia (1) and Nevada (1) and through our website at www.wsfsbank.com.

Although our current estimates contemplate current economic conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, for the remainder of 2011, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions may be worse than anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition. Amounts subject to significant estimates are items such as the allowance for loan losses and lending related commitments, goodwill, intangible assets, post-retirement obligations, the fair value of financial instruments and other-than-temporary impairments. Among other effects, such changes could result in future impairments of investment securities, goodwill and intangible assets and increases of allowances for loan losses and lending related commitments as well as increased post-retirement expense.

Our accounting and reporting policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and prevailing practices within the banking industry for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X does not require us to include all information and notes for complete financial statements and prevailing practices within the banking industry. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2011. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the SEC.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation (formerly SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment). After shareholder approval in 2005, the 1997 Stock Option Plan (“1997 Plan”) was replaced by the 2005 Incentive Plan (“2005 Plan”). No future awards may be granted under the 1997 Plan, however, we still have options outstanding under the 1997 plan for officers, directors and Associates of the Company and its subsidiaries. The 2005 Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of its effective date, after which no awards may be granted. We have stock options outstanding under both plans (collectively, “Stock Incentive Plans”). As of March 31, 2011, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan is 1,197,000.

The Stock Incentive Plans provide for the granting of incentive stock options as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code as well as non-incentive stock options (collectively, “stock options”). Additionally, the 2005 Plan provides for the granting of stock appreciation rights, performance awards, restricted stock and restricted stock

unit awards, deferred stock units, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards and cash awards. All Stock Options are to be granted at not less than the market price of our common stock on the date of the grant. All Stock Options granted during 2011 vest in 25% per annum increments, start to become exercisable one year from the grant date and expire five years from the grant date. Generally, all awards become immediately exercisable in the event of a change in control, as defined within the Stock Incentive Plans. In addition, the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to determine the grant date fair value of stock options. At March 31, 2011, we had 230,540 remaining shares available for issuance under the 2005 Plan.

Stock Options

The following table provides information about our stock options outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2011:

	March 31, 2011
				Weighted-
				Average
	Shares			Exercise Price
Stock Options:
Outstanding at beginning of period		566,323		$	42.84
Granted		50,723			44.91
Exercised		(7,161	)		22.34
Forfeited		(14,348	)		46.13
Outstanding at end of period		595,537			43.18

Exercisable at end of period		454,294		$	44.28

Weighted-average fair value
of awards granted	$	14.29

The following table provides information about our unvested stock options outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2011:

	March 31, 2011
				Weighted-
				Average
	Shares			Exercise Price
Stock Options:
Unvested at beginning of period		123,486			$	45.04
Granted		50,723				44.91
Vested		(24,977	)			26.96
Forfeited		(7,989	)			39.70
Unvested at end of period		141,243			$	39.66

The total amount of compensation cost to be recognized relating to non-vested stock options as of March 31, 2011 was $941,000. The weighted-average period over which they are expected to be recognized is 2.6 years. We issue new shares upon the exercise of options.

Restricted Stock

We issued 39,383 restricted stock units and awards during the first quarter of 2011. These awards generally vest over a four year period. For these stock awards made to certain executive officers, there are additional vesting limitations under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”).

Performance Stock Awards

The Board approved a plan in which Marvin N. Schoenhals, Chairman of the Board, was granted 22,250 shares of restricted stock effective January 3, 2011 with a five-year performance vesting schedule starting at the end of the second year. These awards are based on acquiring new business relationships in which Mr. Schoenhals has played a meaningful role in helping us establish the new business. These shares are subject to vesting in whole or in part if pre-tax contributions achieved over a two year period result in at least a 50% return on investment of the cost of the restricted stock.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the effect of stock-based compensation, including stock options, restricted stock, and performance stock, on salaries, benefits and other compensation was $525,000 pre-tax ($437,000 after tax) or $0.05 per share.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	For the three months ended
		March 31,
	2011		2010
	(In Thousands, Except Per Share Data)
Numerator:
Net income (loss) allocable to common stockholders	$	3,514	$	(178	)

Denominator:
Denominator for basic earnings per share - weighted average shares		8,576		7,084
Effect of dilutive employee stock options and warrants		154		-
Denominator for diluted earnings per share – adjusted weighted		8,730		7,084
average shares and assumed exercise		8,730		7,084

Earnings per share:
Basic:
Net income (loss) allocable to common shareholders	$	0.41	$	(0.03	)
Diluted:
Net income (loss) allocable to common shareholders	$	0.40	$	(0.03	)

Outstanding common stock equivalents having no dilutive effect		304		795

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, all stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share because the effect would have been antidilutive.

3. INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The following tables detail the amortized cost and the estimated fair value of our investment securities held-to-maturity and securities available-for-sale (which includes reverse mortgages):

				Gross		Gross
	Amortized			Unrealized		Unrealized			Fair

December 31, 2010:

Securities with book values aggregating $33.6 million at March 31, 2011 were specifically pledged as collateral for the Bank’s Treasury Tax and Loan account with the Federal Reserve Bank, securities sold under agreement to repurchase, and certain letters of credit and municipal deposits which require collateral.

The scheduled maturities of investment securities held-to-maturity and securities available-for-sale at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

	Held-to-Maturity						Available-for Sale
	Amortized			Fair			Amortized			Fair
	Cost			Value			Cost			Value
	(In Thousands)
March 31, 2011
Within one year (1)		$	—		$	—		$	13,498		$	13,652

		$	219		$	196		$	51,884		$	52,232
(1) Reverse mortgages do not have contractual maturities. We have included reverse mortgages in maturities within one year.

We sold $6.1 million of investment securities classified as available-for-sale during the first quarter of 2011 resulting in a gain on sale of $110,000. There were no sales of investment securities classified as available-for-sale during the first quarter of 2010 and, as a result, there were no net gains or losses realized during the first quarter of 2010. The cost basis for investment security sales was based on the specific identification method. Investment securities totaling $330,000 and $720,000 were called by their issuers during the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

At March 31, 2011, we owned investment securities totaling $17.0 million where the amortized cost basis exceeded the fair value. Total unrealized losses on those securities were $194,000 at March 31, 2011. This temporary impairment is the result of changes in market interest rates subsequent to the purchase of the securities. Securities with fair values of $98,000 have been impaired for 12 months or longer. We have determined that these securities were not other than temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010. Our investment portfolio is reviewed each quarter for indications of impairment. This review includes analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been lower than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and the intent and ability not to sell the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market. We evaluate our intent and ability to hold debt securities based upon our investment strategy for the particular type of security and our cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position. In addition, we do not have the intent to sell, nor is it more likely-than-not we will be required to sell these securities before we are able to recover the amortized cost basis.

The portfolio of available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities is comprised of 177 bonds with an amortized cost of $672.7 million of both GSE ($359.3 million) and non-GSE ($313.4 million) bonds. All bonds were AAA-rated at time of purchase; only one bond with a value of $112,432 is now rated below AAA. Downgraded bonds were re-evaluated at March 31, 2011. The result of this evaluation shows no other-than-temporary impairment for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The weighted average duration of the mortgage-backed securities was 2.5 years at March 31, 2011.

At March 31, 2011, mortgage-backed securities with market values aggregating $353.5 million were pledged as collateral for retail customer repurchase agreements and municipal deposits. From time to time, mortgage-backed securities are also pledged as collateral for Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings and other obligations. The fair value of these FHLB pledged mortgage-backed securities was $51.3 million at March 31, 2011.

During the first three months of 2011, we sold mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale of $40.0 million with net gains of $305,000. The cost basis of all mortgage-backed securities sales is based on the specific identification method. There were no sales of mortgage-backed securities available for sale during the first three months of 2010.

Mortgage-backed securities have expected maturities that differ from their contractual maturities. These differences arise because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without a prepayment penalty.

At March 31, 2011, we owned mortgage-backed securities totaling $223.4 million where the amortized cost basis exceeded fair value. Total unrealized losses on these securities were $2.2 million at March 31, 2011. This temporary impairment is the result of changes in market interest rates and a lack of liquidity in the mortgage-backed securities market. There were no securities impaired for 12 months or longer. We have determined that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010. Quarterly, we evaluate the current characteristics of each of our mortgage-backed securities such as delinquency and foreclosure levels, credit enhancement, projected losses and coverage. In addition, we do not have the intent to sell, or is it more likely-than-not we will be required to sell these securities before we are able to recover the amortized cost basis.

We own $12.4 million par value of SASCO RM-1 2002 securities which are classified as trading, of which, $1.4 million is accrued interest paid in kind. We expect to recover all principal and interest due to seasoning and excess collateral. Based on FASB ASC 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities (“ASC 320”) (Formerly SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities) when these securities were acquired they were classified as trading because it was our intent to sell them in the near term. We used the guidance under ASC 320 to provide a reasonable estimate of fair value in 2011 and 2010. We estimated the value of these securities based on the pricing of BBB+ securities that have an active market through a technique which estimates the fair value of this asset using the income approach as of March 31, 2011.

5. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY INFORMATION

Allowance for Loan Losses

We maintain allowances for loan losses and charge losses to these allowances when such losses are realized. The determination of the allowance for loan losses requires significant judgment reflecting our best estimate of impairment related to specifically identified loans as well as probable loan losses in the remaining loan portfolio. Our evaluation is based upon a continuing review of these portfolios.

The following table provides the activity of the allowance for loan losses and loan balances for the three months ended March 31, 2011:
